An expensive evening

Umm… no, not dinner and a movie…

  • 10 gallons of gas at 3.19/gal (I couldn’t wait any longer… it was getting low…)

  • A Powerball ticket (for the next 3 drawings…) Yes, I know I probably won’t win… but it’s up to $180 million tonight… I couldn’t resist… Even 10% of that and I could retire… though looking at the numbers I ended up with… Moses will once more part the Red Sea, and a Democrat get elected as US President before those numbers get picked…

    If I ever did win… I’ve always assumed it would be one of the low ones (under $30 million) because the odds are better of winning the whole thing (fewer people buying tickets..)

  • The new Sheryl Crow CD – had to remove a few songs to squeeze it onto my iPod

  • A couple items of clothing (on sale) – short sleeve shirts… now that Wal-mart has long sleeve shirts out now for winter/fall (a bit early around here… still 80′s in the afternoon.)

  • A haircut (I was looking a little ragged…) – the usual risky one at Wal-mart (It’s never bad… as long as it can grow back I can live with that.)

That’s my “spare cash” for the week… I really need to be saving up for a trip to NH in a week or two…
